It's that time of year again! Our annual list of where to drink cheap on St. Patrick's Day in New York City. As many of you probably know, St. Patrick's Day is reason for most bars to cancel their happy hour specials and hike up their prices.

Fear not! We've complied a list of the best drink specials in town tomorrow. We've confirmed each of the deals below, but it's always a good idea to give the places a buzz before you head over to reconfirm. Also, keep an eye on this list -- hopefully we'll be expanding it as more deals come about (UPDATED, 3/17 @ 11:05 AM).

Jake's Dilemma (430 Amsterdam Avenue)- Head over to the Upper West Side for $3.50 drafts all night long. (212) 580-0556.

Dempsey's Pub(61 2nd Avenue) - This East Village watering hole will have specials all night long including $4 shots, $4 drafts, $12 pitchers, and $15 buckets of beer like Miller High Life and Rolling Rock. (212) 388-0662.

Mad River Bar & Grill (1442 3rd Avenue) - For those who want to get their drink on early in the day, this Upper East Side bar will be serving $3 domestic drafts, $4 pints of Guinness, and $5 Irish car bombs until 3PM. (212) 988-1832.

11th Street Bar (510 E 11th Street) - Avoid the crowds and head over to this bar where their normal happy hour will be in effect. That means $2 off drinks from 4PM - 9PM putting a pint of Guinness at a reasonable $4. (212) 982-3929.

The Levee (212 Berry Street) - We realize there are no Brooklyn places on this list. That's because we assume most Brooklyn bars will be cheap enough for you regardless. But we'll show you some love by mentioning that the normal happy hour at this Williamsburg spot will be in effect -- $1 off all drinks from 5PM - 8PM. 718-218-8787.
